Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1887-10-03


Believing yOu to be in sympathy with
the principles OF Democracy, and desiring
to see the dissemination Of information
that will develop and enrich our State;
also that you have a reasonable pride in
the success of all legitimate business VEN
lures within her borders, that will aug-
ment her population, give us a home mar
ket and thus enhance the value of property,
both real and personal, which in turn
will tighten and distribute more equally
the burdens of taxation, take the liberty
to address you the following:
First-Ii we wish to perpetuate our form
of government clean and intact; TO place
the greatest bulwark against the encroaCh
ments of mOnied monopoly; 10 distribute
the wealth of the land among the greatest
number, and to preserve the public do
main to the actual settler, it is only
through a Democratic government, and,
therefore, Democracy must hold sway.
SecOnd-It is acknowledged that West
Virginia will be pivotal State in the next
Presidential campaign, aS 1t WAS in the
last, and that the Republicans will leave
no stone unturned to capture it. They rely
upon their assessments of the protected
monied corporations, their skill in crooked
methods and the hope that the disappoint-
ment arising among Democrats from the
distribution of the federal patronage will
cause sufficient sloughing OF from the
Democratic party to give them the State.
Third-TheSe are important cOnsldera-
tions, which will count for much to the
enemy, il we do not cOunteract them. The
time to do il is nOw-nOt when the cam
paigu is ona year hence, when every reader
IS in doubt what TO believe, because Ot the
myriads of lies in circulation. The citi-
Zen's mind is now at rest, he subsCTibes
for his tavOrite paper for what it contains
and reads it carefully, weighing well all
that is in il; therefore, it is now that care
fully prepared and truthful articles will
have the most weight and hest effect.
Fourth-That this end may I've reached
the REGISTER appeals to you as u friend
to the success of simple honest govern
ment, and the success OF n painstaking.
honest President, to take personal inter
est in this all important question; for let
me say the effort to wrest the government
from the hands of the Democracy will he
the most terrific that dying party with
out principle, and consequently with q
lust for Office that has no parallel, ever
made. Ii is their last and only hope
Fiflh-The REGISTER is, and shall con-
tinue, vigorously prosecuting its war upOn
and against all classes of rotten and cor
rupt harnacles on the body polite; it be-
lievcs in progressive, liberal spirit IN
State and Federal legislatiOn;it shall fight
and pursue relentleSsly all schemes that
tend to restrict the liberties OF the masses
and enrish the few at the expense Of the
many; to develop the great natural re-
sources of our Mountain State will be one
of its chiefest aims. To promote these
ends il asks that its 10, 900 readers may be
increased to p, 900.
